look at the numbers if you add up resignations....firings.......indictments........it is mind boggling......inside first year........all the best people he said.

under the radar......spilling of beans by spicer.....he of tedious diary records....thats what happens when you punish a devout catholic by not letting him meet the pope.......vindictiveness has its nemesis - karma.

general kelly's civil war compromise -
the slaves would become .875 human beings and they would have a pathway to becoming human beings.

papadoupalos knows a lot...how do we know... because.trump just said today that papadoulplis has already been proven to be a liar.......meaning that no one should believe anything he says in the future because he lied to the fbi....this is standard defense tactics to discredit a govt witness in organized crime cases....it is crystal clear that trump's confidence is shaken.......he wants to smear pap because pap has plenty to say and he knows it.........many more shoes to fall.

"Four score and Seven years ago.......Abraham Lincoln
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself"------FDR
"A shining city on a hill"-----Reagan

"DO SOMETHING"-----Donald J. Trump

i always thought the FDR quote was after pearl harbor but it was after the new deal was coming in..circa 1932.

Day of infamy was after Pearl harbour

Pap went in a hurry from being an "excellent guy" and "foreign policy adviser" to "liar" and "coffee boy."

If what Trump says is true -- I mean what Trump is saying right at this moment, not what he said last year, or what he may say tomorrow, which obviously could be drastically different -- at least Pap was a lying coffee boy with plenty of moxie and gumption. How many coffee boys contact agents of the Russian government all on their own? That's the kind of go-getter who ain't gonna be coffee boy for long!

about him being a coffee boy calling the russians close to putin.....that is what i was thinking !...its like something out of a jerry lewis movie...or he has too much caffeine......high energy.
i thought fear itself was part of one of fire chats during ww2.

Why This Is Not Trump’s Watergate

Pretty good read from New York Review of Books.

so true.

it is so troubling that there are only a few righteous republicans in all of congress....so sad and such a commentary.

there's few righteous politicians in congress regardless of their party affiliation. Politicians don't do righteous.

i think i disagree.....if you are right i would not be a democrat......there would not be any parties.....democrats are far from perfect but there is a great difference between the parties....hopes and aspirations start somewhere.

I didn't say there was not a big difference between the parties, but both parties are full of politicians and when it comes to politicians I am very cynical.

Now, I am bored with politics. here's my 1987 list (in no particular order). I found 1987 to be a strange year. On the one hand I was not overly impressed in general by the albums released that year. On the other hand, a couple of my favorite albums of all time were released in 1987. See if you can guess which ones!
The Joshua Tree - U2
Tunnel of Love - Bruce Springsteen
Pontiac - Lyle Lovett
King's Record Shop - Roseanne Cash
Outside Looking in - The Bodeans
Bring the Family - John Hiatt
Let Me Up(I've Had Enough) - Tom Petty the Heartbreakers
Sign 'O' the Times - Prince
Document - REM
Pleased to meet Me - The Replacements

On the bubble:
Appetite for Destruction - Guns n Roses
Cloud 9 - George Harrison
The Lonesome Jubilee - John Mellencamp
Crest of a Knave - Jethro Tull
Sentimental Hygiene - Warren Zevon
Chris Isaak - Chris Isaak

I'll guess U2 and REM

Pretty solid list really. Better year than the last couple methinks.
